There is no photosynthesis
the temp. of the aphotic zone biome is freezing and gets colder in depth.
Aphotic zone is the area of a lake or an ocean which gets little or no sunshine throughout the year.
Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
aphotic zone
Photic Zone: part of the ocean that receives sunlight Aphotic Zone: area in an ocean where sunlight does not reach and photosynthesis does not occur
Since the aphotic zone does not receive sunlight it relys on the photic zone for the sunlight which in terms it does penetrate.
Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
this could be the aphotic zone where only 1% of the surface light reaches. The Bethnic zone is the VERY bottom and is basically the sediment zone.
The bottom zone of ocean life, where there is no light.
